Tweet tweet bang bang

A peculiar row has erupted seemingly out of nowhere in the twittersphere. For a reason we have not yet been able to find an answer to, Jamie O’Brien’s twitter feed has turned on the champ, Kelly Slater in a big way. Whether it is in fact Jamie sending the tweets is unclear. You may remember in the past, Stab’s very own Charlie Smith was paid to upkeep Jamie’s twitter feed. The suggestion now, as you’ll see in Kelly’s lone comeback tweet, is that Jamie’s ex-manager, Andrew Long is behind the posts. We’ve attempted to make contact with Jamie, Andrew and Kala Alexander, who was also mentioned in the exchange, and will keep you posted as the story unfolds.

* Certain names in the twitter exchange have been blurred out for legal reasons.

It’s fucking ridiculous that Kelly is a target for all this bullshit. The so called “surf media 2.0″ that sit on their computers and tweet crap all day are becoming so boring. Jamie think he’s a huge tour rebel, and yet he’s at the US Open of surfing singing autographs? He has sponsors that have expectations just like every other sponsored surfer. He’s as much of a “tool” of the industry as anyone else on the tour. Wake up dickheads.

Everyone knows that job is a wanker, but at least he has balls unlike stab who were to scared to run comments for three days on this one .. Has kelly really got that much sway???

Trying to stay in the media through tweets and not your sport just reeks of desperate.

There is no way that’s JOB, plus we all know that the blanked out spots are *****, and ****. Fred Pawle rules.

Jamie can’t spell and doesn’t use punctuation for a start.. It’s well known that a few people have his twitter login

It’s not JOB’s keypad and that’s the truth !

fuck JOB keypad. He’s a fucking actin character. surf nowadays WITH OR WITHOUT JOB doesn’t make much difference to me. john john knock him out one time at pipe contest and will do it many many times. tell me you guys gonna take credit from someone who’s living a charmed life and sending everyone to go fuck themselves up? I hate JOB surf movies, they become boring after 15 minutes watch. I hate JOB soundtrack. He is just there because he lives in front of the best break in the world. and that’s a fucking true.

Hey take it easy on JOB he has to find his niche in the surf world somehow. Especially now that JJF wears his pipe crown now and does bigger and better airs.

14.

hahaha everyone in these days hates the ASP, the competition, the crappy waves…
but the same people criticism JOB and put Kelly like a god!

who is traveling the world surfing perfect waves only with his good friends? making insane movies, fun short movies, fishing, drinking, partying and living in Hawaii the whole season?

and who follows the shitty waves tour? play golf with the millionaires, critics the whole system but follows it for the last 20 years ( and cannot stop because is addict ).

wake up guys!

Kelly has suffered JOBs bullshit on twitter for ages..Some of the stuff is awkward, I doubt Kelly ignores it all, he seems smart enough to be offended.

16.

It’s pretty hard to make sense when you’re tweeting with your middle finger extended.

17.

He’s aptly named because he is full of shit. He is an annoying bog-fly who needs to be swatted.

18.

is he referring to BELLY?

19.

no, sarge. there are some enablers..

20.

All fake
